Subject: [RFC 01/11] sched/fair: Fix select_idle_cpu()s cost accounting
Date: Wed, 30 May 2018 16:22:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180530143105.926359095@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20180530142236.667774973@infradead.org

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-sis-again-1.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1423 bytes --]

We compute the average cost of the total scan, but then use it as a
per-cpu scan cost when computing the scan proportion. Fix this by
properly computing a per-cpu scan cost.

This also fixes a bug where we would terminate early (!--nr, case) and
not account that cost at all.
